It is a great news; though it would be much greater if the engine is the same one used in european market. Wonder how much would be the increase in cost if the european engine is used instead of the KAPPA ENGINE meant for i10.

A good vehicle with lots of features but underpowered with same 1.2 lt KAPPA engine, very less power to weight ratio and highly priced.
Swift will keep ruling this segment.
